K27/6 turbo and Lindsey boost enhancer?
hi i have i lindsey boost enhancer already in my 951 and i am thinking about getting a K27/6 turbo. What do you think about that turbo and can you have both the turbo and boost enhancer in the car or is it pointless?

I have a powerhaus K27/6 with lightweight rotor for sale. Perfect condition, cost is USD 1,500 new. I let it go for USD 800 plus shipping. Paypal is fine. Don't see a reason why LBE and bigger turbo should not work together. email me at kienle@shaw.ca

yeah, you should use the lbe. the turbo gives you capacity and the lbe provides signal control. The bigger turbo does nothing for you if you get signal pressure to the wastegate at 11 psi. You should also shim the wastegate, if you are still using factory, because a #6 turbine will crack it open too early.

I also have a new LBE, shims for the wastegate (inc. installation instructions for both) and also a new set of Steve R. chips for sale. Add 300 dollars US to the turbo price if you also want that stuff.

I used an LBE with my K27/6 for a while but it wouldn't give the boost curve I wanted. The K27/6 (later 7200 series compressor is better) is a decent turbo depending on your goals. It is a good street turbo with factory reliability and a practical limit of 300rwhp. You don't want it on a track car. You will probably need different chips to go with the turbo also.
